We are all aware of the economic value of intangible assets. Assets protected by copyright (software, databases, digital creations) require proof of the originality of the creations and the anteriority of the rights, even though no registration is required.

Under certain conditions, the processes implemented in your programmes can benefit from the protection offered by patent law, which requires the invention to be registered before it is published or marketed.

Intangible assets that do not qualify for protection under intellectual property law nonetheless have significant value (know-how, non-patentable algorithms, functionalities). They can be protected by confidentiality and business secrecy.

All your contracts with customers, suppliers and employees must include intellectual property and confidentiality clauses to protect and enhance your intangible assets.

We support you in identifying the intangible assets that can be protected, in the strategy for protecting these assets and in the legal implementation within the company.
